I bet anything most of the fans you see at Raw have no clue Raven is the World Champion in TNA. Even people on here didn't even know.

I don't know the wrestling market? LOL. Saying that I don't know the wrestling market is like saying you don't know who Randy Orton is. I've studied the business as long as I've been able to walk. I was a "smart mark" back when there was no Internet and the only source for wrestling news was Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine (as well as others). I'm not just an "Internet fan" who bitches about the things that we should be seeing on RAW and Smackdown. I'm more than just a fan as I've worked matches and booked shows. I eat, sleep, and breath professional wrestling because I have long term plans in the wrestling business. I'm not just some smartass wrestling fan that thinks they know what's best for the business.
I realize Vince doesn't care what the Internet fans want or even the casual fans for that matter. But the fact is today's casual wrestling fan would respond more to Raven than the casual fans of the last 90s-early 2000s. Whether or not the casual WWE fans are aware of Raven's recent NWA World title win is irrelevant. The fact is if he were in WWE today he would be more over than he was the last time he was in WWE and he would be more over than some of WWE's current workers. Today's wrestling fans, casual or Internet, would appreciate Raven alot more than they did 5 or 6 years ago.
